In China called trips to Russian shops a test for tourists

Visiting Russian grocery stores can be an unexpected test for tourists from China. The reason is not prices or assortment, but the behavior of buyers. This was reported by the Chinese newspaper Baijiahao.

After the introduction of a visa-free regime, Russia began to attract more travelers from China. Chinese people come for holidays, business meetings and exhibitions, get acquainted with local cuisine and visit shops. At the same time, the usual process of buying products for Russians sometimes causes foreign guests to be puzzled.

The authors of the publication noted that Russian supermarkets offer a wide range of products. However, the attitude of local residents to the choice of products makes a special impression on tourists.

One of the travelers told how she watched a woman who was long and carefully going through onions in the vegetable department. The buyer examined each bulb before making a decision. When the Chinese woman quickly put the vegetable in her cart, the Russian looked at her with disapproval and said something.

The foreigner did not understand what was said, but suggested that she was criticized for choosing the wrong product. Perhaps the chosen bulb seemed unsuitable for cooking.

According to Chinese journalists, such situations reflect differences in shopping habits. In China, a visit to a supermarket is primarily associated with convenience, speed of service and independent choice of goods. In Russia, even the usual purchase of vegetables, according to the authors, sometimes turns into a kind of ritual.

At the same time, Chinese travelers stressed that the external severity of Russians does not mean ill will. A person who has just reacted disapprovingly to someone else’s choice, after a few minutes, may well selflessly help a stranger who finds himself in a difficult situation.
